Though the Aura VUE is probably the best looking version of GM's mini ute (though some may prefer the Terrain), give credit to the Europeans for at least attempting to spice up their bland Captiva. And while it's like throwing oil and vinegar on your Subway club sandwich in a doomed effort to make it an exciting culinary treat, the new 18-inch wheels, body kit, dual exhausts, light silver finishing and smoked taillights do add some zest to the otherwise milquetoast personality.
